Who is Priya Sharma in Emmerdale?
Priya first appeared in 2009, but was originally played by actress Effie Woods.
She left the village in 2010 but when she returned the following year, Fiona had taken over the role.
Priya has been through a lot during her 13 years in the village.
In 2020 she got engaged to Al Chapman, however she discovered he had been cheating on her with Debbie Dingle, who was living in Scotland.
When Debbie and Priya found out what Al had done to them both, they confronted him and Priya ended their engagement.
Soon Priya began seeing Al’s son Ellis.
Priya’s accident
Last year Priya was involved in a fire at the maize maze, which was started when Andrea Tate tried to defend herself from killer Meena Jutla.
Priya was left badly burnt and struggled with her confidence.
Earlier this year she had a heart-to-heart with Marlon Dingle, who recently suffered a stroke, and the two talked about missing how they were before.
Marlon told Priya he planned to walk for his and Rhona’s wedding.
He asked Priya to be there and that she wouldn’t wear a jacket, wanting her to be proud of who she is.
At the wedding, Marlon walked down the aisle to Rhona. At the wedding reception, Priya kept her word and took off her jacket, revealing her scars.
More recently, she has been trying to support Liam Cavanagh after it was revealed his wife, Priya’s friend, Leyla had been struggling with a cocaine addiction.
This left some fans predicting that Liam and Priya would have an affair.
